Pop-up child vaccination clinics
Starting on 12 February, COVID-19 vaccination pop-ups for kids – or ‘K-pops’ – will roll out in some of Victoria’s most iconic venues – including Scienceworks, Melbourne Zoo and Sealife Aquarium – with each site intended specifically for vulnerable children or those living with a disability.
Initially vaccine recipients at these venues will be invitation-only, with the Department of Health and the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing identifying children with potential access issues. Invitees will include children from out of home care, living with disability or in contact with specialist services

Back to school
As part of the back to plan, we strongly recommend:
- Mainstream primary and secondary staff and students:twice-a-week rapid antigen testing on school days
- Specialist school staff and students: daily rapid antigen testing on school days
Schools will make rapid antigen tests available for collection by parents/carers from the start of Term 1. The initial distribution will be limited to one pack per student. Testing will be conducted at home, and students and staff must report any positive result. There is no requirement to report a negative result.
